Have the figured out the multi touch on the X10 yet though? Without that, its a dealbreaker instantly for me.

How on earth could multi touch be a deal breaker. What on earth is it for other than zooming? Dealbreaker??? Madness. Your smartphone priorities are crazy.

The Desire is a much better phone than the X10 because of Android 2.1 and HTC Sense.

Once SE get the 2.1 or even 2.2 update out to the X10 it should be fairly similar.

The 2.1 os isn't that much of an advantage. Sony will be releasing 2.1 or 2.2 for the X10 soon enough.

X10 is the bst phone because it has 8.1 mp camera and has the biggest screen, also looks nicer too, only drawback is software which will be fixed soon. Other than that it's the best out there imo, thats why I picked it over HTC.

I got a Sony Experia X10 the day it came out last month. I love it, I love Android. People are complaining that you cant get paid apps yet in Ireland. I downloaded ever single app you can buy from bittorrent and put them all on my sd card. I no longer search the market for apps I search my phone.

I hate Apple and never buy their products. They try to control you too much. I love Android and the idea of open source OS.

Who gives a shit Liverpool ended 0-0. We're 6th

I always split it into 5 portions, eat one the day i cook it, put another in the fridge for the next day and freeze the other 3.

You can use the sauce as a base for anything, like fry some peppers and add the sauce to it near the end, or add some fried mince or a tin of tuna for protein.

Ok, I'm back into Italian mode. Making pasta sauce like a mofo. I've got loads of different variations on a similar tomato sauce, taking not of what changes are good and what's excellent

Ok my last batch was pretty damn tasty and here's the recipe. I'd love to try other peoples if they have some good ones.

4 Tins Plum Tomatos, crushed by hand or in a processor, or mashed through a sieve.

2 inch piece of Chorizo, diced

5/6 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 red onion, finely chopped

5-6 anchovies chopped

Juice of half a lemon

two table spoons of tomato puree/paste

lots of fresh basil, say 1 cup, finely chopped.

handful of Fresh oregano, or two spoons of dried will do fine.

2/3 fresh red chilli's finely chopped, (or 1 teaspoon of hot chilli powder)

splash of dark balsamic vineger (could try a glass of red wine instead, which I will be doing tomorrow)

Plenty of black pepper.

Extra virgin olive oil

-Start by sweating the red onion off in olive oil for ten minutes over a medium/low heat.

-Next add the chopped chorizo, garlic, anchovies and chilli and stir for a couple of minutes until the anchovies disolve and the chorizo colours the oil.

-Now add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer,

-Then add 3/4rs of the basil, the oregano, tomato puree, lemon juice, pepper and balsamic, stir well and reduce the heat to low.

-Now cook this for as long as possible (at least an hour and 2 or more if possible),

-Adding some water if the sauce gets too thick and stirring regurlay to stop it sticking on the bottom. When your done stir in the last of the basil.

-For best results, let it cool and put the sauce into containers and let it chill overnight in the fridge. It tastes amazing the next day. It's also perfect for freezing.

So there you go, thought I'd share this recipe with you. It's lovely served with linguini and loads of freshly grated Grana Padano or Parmisan.

A note, if you dont like anchovies dont worry you cannot taste them in the dish they melt into the sauce and without them the sauce is nowhere near as good. If you have only had them on pizza they are nothing like that, try them in the sauce they are the natural salt in the dish. Also it's important to get the best possible tomatoes, paying that bit extra for the name brand tinned tomatoes makes a difference.

I'm an ASICS man, myself. Although I have just bought my first pair of Sauconys by way of a change.

Same here, I aint blaming them for my injuries, I'm certain my orthotics were at fault. Had full hour gait assesment with specialist physio and should have my new orthotics in about 10days. I will probably buy a new pair of Asics Gel in a few weeks. Ready for all the summer runs.

Lets be honest here, completeing your first 10k run is a great feeling. I took up running last year and was doing quite a few runs a week of varying distance. I have foot problems, fallen arches and suffer bad from shin splints, I got new orthotics last April but they haven't done the trick, I get blisters pretty regularly on my feet.

I hadn't done much running over the winter due to the weather but kept relativly fit by playing 5 a side every week. When I got back from a holiday in Miami last month I decided to do the 10k run in Phoenix Park so started training but then got bad achilles tendonitis, pretty stubborn injury, takes lots of rest to heal.

Anyway I decided to do the run as I'd signed up for it, it is a very tough course, the second half has loads of hill and the final one is about 8k in and is 500m on a pretty steep incline. Suffice to say my achilles took one hell of a pounding, but I still managed to sprint the finish, some feeling crossing the line. I'm totally hooked. I did it in a time of 46m20sec which I thought was rather good considering I was injured.

Physio said I was rather stupid running and I'm gutted that I have to wait 4 weeks before running again. Stupid achilles. Anyway, I had to get new orthotics at a cost of €300 but hopefully the injuries are behind me. Physio also told me my hamstrings and calves were too tight and I must stretch them properly, daily for 3 weeks. Very important apparently.

There is an 8k run in 2 weeks time that I'm hopefully fit for, it's a pretty flat course so hoping to do in 35mins. I just love running. Once you're in the zone you just feel like you can run forever.

**** football, its a horrible painful agonising fcuking piece of shit. I'll save my children from this miserable thing

**** football, all it delivers is pain all year and never stops.

**** Warnock. Spurs score and now Tevez Penalty. Thats that.

I love Dunne

I dont think my nerves can take this. We need a break away goal to hopefully break their spirits.

Get in, even if we end 6th again this season at least we ended it well. We add a couple of proper attacking players in the summer and we will tun alot of these draws into wins.

GGGGEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN JJJJJJJJJJJJJJIMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEYYYY

I have a feeling that's that with that Heskey miss / Hart save.

Stuart Hall on 5Live saying that the Villa fans raised the roof and the team respond to the cacophony. Amazing what the fans getting behind you can do

Our away support is amazing, an absolute credit to the club. It's the fair weather home fans that embarrass us.

I haven't got a problem mate, I know my football and I know that second half was poor.

We were great in the first half but Bolton pretty much dominated play after that. We need to learn how to keep the ball if we ever hope to finish higher than 5th.

Cop on mate, we created the chances to finish them off in the second half, we controlled the game for almost the 90 mins. It was a solid performance and a pretty comfortable victory. We were the better team.

Some people, when the negativity creeps in it never abates. I pity people who cant enjoy victories.

Petrov deserve credit for his performance today, real captain performance.

He played well today against a very mundane Bolton team, but one swallow doesn't make the summer.

He's be consistently solid for two years now, so I'm pretty sure it's not one swallow. Remember he was palyers player and fans player of the year last year. He is still a scapegoat for many on here, but he is very consistent, very experienced and a good captain.

Milner will be well rested now, with time off this week for the whole team he'll have had a full 2 weeks between Chelsea games. I know he had a knock but he made the bench so could've played. Glad he, Downing and Cuellar have had breaks in the past couple of weeks, will do them good.

Petrov deserve credit for his performance today, real captain performance.

So our "Slump" is WDDLW

Some slump, If we can beat Everton we are right back in it. Huge two games coming up, Milner rested and all.

GET THE **** IN,

What a day, Spurs losing before they have three impossible games coming up.

get in, c'mon

Luke Young (amongst others) had a stinker last weekend, maybe Cuellar is playing because of an expected Physical battle with Bolton?

Yep to defend long balls to Davies. Good team selection, especially wth Delph and Petrov in Centre, Milner rested after Downing was rested last week. Very good team.

It's been a shame Reo-Coker has been injured recently, he does a job, and does it well. Especially when needed to add energy and grit off the bench. He would've replaced Petrov a few times on 70mins in a few games recently.
